The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 169 Princess?
“Master Wine Jiu!” A joyful cry sounded inside the shop. This shocked everyone and they could not help but look towards the direction of the voice.
At the entrance, they saw two figures dressed as servants and servants respectively, and when everyone realized who they were, their expressions immediately eased.
Jiu Shen also glanced at them, but his face remained unperturbed. He had been expecting their presence in his shop ever since he discussed this with Emperor Elyk.
Just then, he suddenly felt a supple and fragrant body hugging him tightly like an octopus.
The scent of young jasmine flowers struck his nose.
“Wine Master Jiu, you are finally back! Huhu!” This was none other than Sylvia, the fifth child of the emperor and the only daughter he had.
Looking at the young girl with long and silky black hair, Jiu Shen recalled the day he first met her and he could not help but smile.
The fourth prince, Prince Dante who was about to pull his sister from Jiu Shen suddenly saw the final smile and he almost staggered in shock. “Master Wine Jiu?” He nodded unconsciously.
Was this really the aloof Jiu Wine Master he knew? What was that smile then?
Jiu Shen gently pushed Sylvia away as she spoke to them. “Why are you two late for work?” She asked.
Prince Dante and Princess Sylvia looked at each other before looking at Jiu Shen in embarrassment.
“Grand of Wine Jiu, the imperial palace is far from here and since the area around your shop is being moved, there are no residences nearby. The Emperor's father also forbade us from living outside the imperial palace, so we had no choice. ” Prince Dante explained while scratching the back of his head with a forced smile.
Beside her, Princess Sylvia nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. She was happy to see Jiu Shen again, and when she remembered that she had actually hugged him out of excitement, she lowered her head to hide her blushing face. ‘Ah!! I hugged her?! He's very fragrant. Hehe!’
Jiu Shen thought for a moment and realized that the fourth prince's words made sense. He knew that the emperor forbade them to stay outside the imperial palace because it would be dangerous for both of them. The Silver Wing Empire might be calm on the surface, but he knew that it could erupt at any moment now.
“Then you two have to start working. After the store closes later, you guys should stay and follow me somewhere.” Jiu Shen said as he rubbed the small lolita head on his arm.
The fourth prince and the fifth princess finally saw a small figure in Jiu Shen's arms, making them dumbfounded.
Everyone listened attentively, including Theia who looked calm from the outside.
Jiu Shen's expression was calm as he shook his head. “No...but you can also think of it that way.”
Everyone was confused, but they no longer asked Jiu Shen when they saw him walking away with the little girl in his arms.
The ice that was surprisingly silent throughout the conversation suddenly shook, but Jiu Shen hurriedly rubbed his tiny head gently, making him very calm.
Ice covered her pair of adorable eyes with her plump right arm as she sobbed softly. He then buried his face into Jiu Shen's chest because he was afraid that others would see him cry.
“Let's go to my room. You can tell your story there.” Jiu Shen said as he hugged lolita closer to him. He knew that he might have remembered his family before.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Jiu Shen noticed that Liuli was already standing at the second floor entrance with a bored expression and pouting lips. Seeing this, Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart. ‘Girl, that's what you get for playing around with this Heavenly God.’
Liuli's eyes twinkled as she looked at Jiu Shen, and when she saw the little girl in her arms, she looked at Jiu Shen, she was a little surprised but she did not ask any questions and simply pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction with Jiu Shen's arrangements for her. . After all, he was a 9th rank Saint realm expert, but he actually worked as a doorman? He could not accept this kind of treatment especially after living a carefree life for so many years, but who told him to provoke this evil being in front of him? He just blames himself for this …
“Do not worry. It's just a temporary arrangement for you. Think of this as my little punishment for you.” Jiu Shen said as he patted Liuli's pouting head.
Liuli wanted to hit her hand, but when she felt her warmth and gentle touch, she couldn't bear to do so, so she could only puff out her cheeks like a little girl. He was surprised to himself that he actually showed this kind of expression to others and it was even for a man.
“Lord Jiu Shen, I know I was wrong. II...”
“Come in and see for yourself. You might even want to get this position forever after you check out this second floor you keep.” Jiu Shen cut him off as he headed straight for the third floor without looking back.
Looking at the figure of his back, Liuli stomped her feet slightly irritated, but out of curiosity, she went to inspect the second floor.
“Hah?! This is! What's?! That's why he is so confident. Hahaha! He was right. I'm willing to work as a guard in a place like this!” Liuli exclaimed as she inspected every corner of the second floor. He was stunned at the amount of true essence concentrated within, and he realized that cultivating in this place was even much better than in his own residence.
“Good cultivation environment! How did Lord Jiu Shen create this place? He was truly an unexpected man.” He muttered as he looked around the second floor with a puzzled look.
